<p>if you want an estimate of next year's EFC using your 2008 information, go to the following site:</p>
<p>EFC</a> Calculator: How Much Money for College Will You Be Expected to Contribute?</p>
<p>i personally tried it using my info and i feel that, until finaid.org updates its calculator, it's a good place to start.</p>
<p>vote carefully guys and gals!!</p>
<p>Personally, I’d suggest the FAFSA4Caster at [FAFSA4caster</a> - U.S. Department of Education](<a href=“http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov%5DFAFSA4caster”>http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov). The beauty of this calculator is that you will get your PIN (needed to do your “real” FAFSA in January), and much of the info you input now will pre-populate when you go back in to complete the FAFSA early next year. In addition, there are checks performed as you enter info that will reduce the chance of mistakes.</p>
